Chapter 53 Transactions (1)
Faced with Luo Shixin's contempt, Liu Min and Liu Lan knew that they were in the wrong and were punished so much. They also knew that Luo Shixin's status in the Tang Dynasty was not something they could shake. They did not dare to be arrogant and did not dare to be arrogant, but just kept their heads down and handed over power.
When Luo Shixin saw Liu Min and Liu Lan, he looked like a sheep. He did not bully him, so he simply turned to the governor's office without seeing him.
Luo Shixin's governor's office was built next to Shuofang Palace. It was naturally impossible for Luo Shixin to move in Shuofang Palace. It has been renamed Shuofang Palace. Perhaps the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would not have the chance to come in for the rest of his life. But no matter whether there would be an emperor to move in, unless the Liang Shidu Palace was demolished and rebuilt, no one would have the courage to move in.
The current governor's office is actually the previous General's Office. Liang Luoren surrendered to protect the Liang family.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not make things difficult for him. They saved the Liang family as he wished, nor did they make things difficult for the Liang family. Liang Luoren himself was granted the title of General of the Right Guard and Duke of Shuofang County because of his contribution to the sacrifice of the city. He had moved to Chang'an to settle down. Li Tang could still accommodate people like Liang Luoren, but it was almost impossible for them to be reused. Unless they really deserve to have talented people in the world, or reasons that they must use.
Liang Luoren is obviously not such a person, and Liang Luoren himself obviously knows this and doesn't care.
The Liang family fought against the Tang Dynasty for many years and led the Turks to invade the Central Plains many times, which was extremely guilty. Now, he was extremely satisfied with the bloodline of the Liang family and he didn't even think about power or anything else.
The General's Mansion where he lived was also presented and changed to the Governor's Mansion.
When he walked into the Governor's Mansion, Luo Shixin saw a different house layout.
The style of this place is different, and the layout and decoration of the houses in different places are also different. Jiangnan is highly praised for its unique water town courtyards. Guanzhong advocates grandeur. Especially in Chang'an, perhaps because of the influence of the capital, Chang'an's style is grandeur. Every house that has been laid out in painstakingly gives a glorious feeling.
This Shuofang is located outside the Great Wall, spanning between the Central Plains grasslands, so the house is simple and heroic. The entire Governor's Office does not have any flowers, plants and potted plants. However, the surrounding wooden pillars allow various rare animals to be carved and repaired. The decoration in the house is not exquisite porcelain or famous calligraphy and paintings, but various dried animal skins and giant teeth, which have a unique taste.
Luo Shixin is not rejected by this style and seems very satisfied.
"What do the general thinks about this mansion? Should I borrow it for the time being, or build another place?" Ma Zhou thought that the budget allocated in the court included the money to build the Governor's Mansion.
Chinese people have attached great importance to their storefronts from ancient times to the present. Even if the Tang Dynasty's economy is tight, important official residences such as the government office that are related to the face of the Tang Dynasty are still willing to spend money.
"Just repair it!" Luo Shixin said: "There is no need to spend that in vain money. Demolition of the front yard. The location is vacant and the necessary official residence offices are built to facilitate your handling of government and military affairs. The back yard does not need to be moved. I am usually alone, so there is no need to deal with it too much. I am not so particular about these. Keep the money allocated from above and use it on the blade. As for manpower, try to hire people who cannot make a living for the time being. The food is almost nothing, but there is a point that must be guaranteed to make them full."
"I know," Ma Zhou bowed and accepted the order.
"By the way! Those three thousand Turkic prisoners cannot be raised in vain. I don't raise idle people. In this way, let Xi Jun buy Yan Pei and lead 500 soldiers to escort all Turkic prisoners to the fields, and let the prisoners sort out the dry fields in Shuofang piece by piece. Pick up all the gravels to facilitate the people to go to the fields and cultivate the fields in early spring. The climate is wrong now, and the fields in the winter are hard. If not, let them plow the fields. Anyway, you can decide whether to buy Yan Pei and the 500 Jiesheng Army will be handed over to you. Before the transaction is completed, let them do any tiring and dirty work. The 3,000 labor that is given for free is not in vain. As for safety, you can rest assured. Yan Pei is very interested in killing and hates the Turks to the core. The Turks dare to make trouble and will definitely not be able to pass his level."
Ma Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly. He really didn't know what grudges and resentment the Turks and Luo Shixin had. He thought so thoughtful about them. However, he did not refuse. This Shuofang was originally a remote place, not a key place in a key area like Chang'an and Luoyang, so it was easy to develop. He intended to plan Shuofang, first based on Shuofang, first develop, and then give kindness to the surrounding counties and towns. Three thousand laborers, and now he needs this.
"But..." Luo Shixin worried, "Are you really sure that Geluolusili will send someone to trade with us? For these useless prisoners?" As far as he knew, Geluolusili's strength was not as strong as Ashina Congli, but it was not too far apart. Three thousand Turkic people could not hurt his shins, but if he proposed to replace prisoners, the initiative would not be in his hands. Waiting for him, his lion would speak loudly.
A lion's big mouth will hurt his muscles and bones. The Turks have never had any feelings. Luo Shixin always had some doubts about Geluosili's obediently sending people to discuss with them about redeeming prisoners.
Liu Rengui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't worry about this. I have already arranged it. It won't be long before the messenger of Gelusili will come." As he said that, he told Luo Shixin the reason.
Luo Shixin laughed and gave the two people a thumbs up. As a superior, he had more capable people under his command, and the efficiency improved more than just a little bit.
It was also because of the existence of Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui that Luo Shixin could trust the matter with confidence and devote his mind to training the border soldiers.
In the next time, he will strictly grasp the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers.
However, before he really started training, Luo Shixin did not forget to take the time to accompany Zheng Liwan, who was specially rushing to see him, until he got the news that the messenger of Gelusili asked for a visit.
Upon hearing this news, Luo Shixin was very excited and couldn't wait to receive the messenger of Geluosili.
Because the Governor's Office was renovating, Luo Shixin was an envoy who met in the military camp outside Shuofang City. He also showed off their military power in the Tang Dynasty and scared the Turkic envoys.
The envoy sent by Gelusili was Chang Yi, who was not an ordinary person. He did not scare the military force, but there was inevitably a trace of shock in his eyes.
The entire Tang army camp was stacked and arranged in an orderly manner; the soldiers patrol camp were full of energy and orderly; the food, grass and supplies were piled up like mountains, and the garrison was tightly guarded.
A military camp is like a fortress... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
